J is for JEFE

OK, I'm not going to make this post very long today-
but I chose the title because JEFE was one of the first 'non-normal' J words I learned for scrabble, since my first name is Jeff. I'm always on the hunt for new words, and one of the easiest ways to find them is to use someone's first name and figure out what scrabble words it's closest to, or if that doesn't work, what scrabble words you can make from it with a blank or two.
So go ahead, leave your first name in your comment and I'll try and find the most interesting scrabble word that I can derive from your name.

    OK, what can you do with ROGER, or EGORR. Is GORER a word?

    Aha... JEFE! guess my mother doesn't know that. *wicked smile* She always beats me in scrabble. I'm now imagining her 'JEFE' reaction. This was a fun J post. Hi Jeff, Hazel here :-)

    sue- Hmm, you probably realize that SUE is good. I'd go with COUNTERSUE or SUETY.

    roger- that's funny, I played a game recently where I either tried GORER* or thought about it. (It's not good.) so I added ROGER to my cardbox. PROGERIA is the best I can do. Don't think you'll like the definition though ;)
